The nearly $2 billion dollar surplus is the talk of the town throughout Minnesota.

Some hope the money will help the state but others believe they deserve a refund check

Taxpayers have helped filled Minnesota's piggy bank with the surplus and some think it's the result of overtaxing.

Saint Paul tax attorney Ken Keate wants lawmakers to send some of the surplus back to taxpayers and help fill their piggy banks.

"I think we need to look at it and possibly look at returning some money to people once the roads are fixed and we've done what we can with the government waste." Keate said.

Governor Dayton and lawmakers from both parties all agree it's very good news, but when it comes to what should be done with the surplus, they disagree on whether to spend most of it or give some of it back to taxpayers.
